Bourbon Red or Brown Turkeys

Bourbon Red or Brown Turkeys Highlights

• Heritage Breed Characteristics: Bourbon Red turkeys are a heritage breed known for their distinctive reddish-brown plumage and calm temperament. They are slower growing than commercial breeds but are prized for their rich, flavorful meat and foraging abilities.
• Dual Purpose Utility: These turkeys are considered a dual-purpose breed, meaning they are raised for both meat and eggs. Hens can lay a good number of eggs annually, making them a sustainable choice for small farms.
• Growth and Maturity: Bourbon Reds typically reach market weight around 20-28 weeks of age. Toms can weigh 23-36 pounds, while hens usually weigh 14-20 pounds. Their slower growth contributes to a more tender and flavorful meat.
• Foraging and Free-Range Suitability: As a heritage breed, Bourbon Reds are excellent foragers and thrive in free-range environments. They can effectively supplement their diet with insects, seeds, and greens, reducing feed costs.
• Breeding and Reproduction: Bourbon Reds are known for being good breeders. Hens are generally attentive mothers and can hatch and raise their own poults successfully if given the opportunity.
